The performance of Elgar's "Dream of Gerontius" was a wonderful experience for us all, and judging by the reviews was extremely well received:

edinburghguide:

The two hundred and sixty very talented musicians on the stage of the Usher Hall under their conductor Neil Mantle performed Edward Elgar’s oratorio based on Newman’s poem. It was a profoundly emotional experience.

The Oratorio’s first performance in 1900 was a disaster for all sorts of reasons. One hundred and ten years later this performance was a triumph.

The Scotsman:

Mantle lovingly lifted its subtle colours from the page, radiant one moment, somber and reflective the next.

The glorious peaks of Go Forth and the cardinal Newman hymn, Praise to the Holiest in the Height, were uplifting in their conviction
